Since I've already confessed to liking the coarse deliciousness of Hersheys, I might as well add another favorite to the list: Caramello by Cadbury. I don't typically care for Cadbury, but something about that luscious caramel is a great indulgence.

But I love gourmet chocolates with higher cocoa content as well. I guess I just love chocolate in all its delicious forms. Much is made about Hersheys vs "quality chocolate" but I'll happily eat one alongside the other. No need to discriminate here. The heart (or is that the arteries) have room for both.

Well, a quick 'thank you' to all on this thread: I chased all of these names around the internet for a while and I have discovered that Richart chocolates are available in NYC again. They have not reopened their store but a place on the Upper West Side of Manahattan is flying the chocolates in from Paris twice a week. Hooray! They also carry numerous other excellent brands so I already foresee return trips for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

NB. I also discovered that Bernard Callebaut has been taken over by new management.
